I love my Aura HD, gotten a lot of use out of it and it still works nicely. The only reason I haven't bought an Aura ONE (been waiting for a solution) is the problems with highlightning. It has gotten much, much better over the years, and if you do only once in a while you may not see any problems. But reading a lot of non-fiction I want to do a lot of highlights, and if you do that, after a while they start to act up and not work (even though it looks like they do, but they don't "stick".). Not being able to trust the system makes it take focus which is a problem.
Trying this firmware it really seems to be much better. It was faster and easier than before. I wanted to really do more before I said it is now working ok for me.
Then something really strange happenend...
I highlighted a part of a paragraph (like 1,5 lines). For some reason missed the last space + word. Ok, tried to mark that word and highlight it as well. Sometime it showed the earlier hightlight, sometimes it showed it as a new highlight. I didn't quite get it for everything.
And then...
Wham bam, everything I highlighted dissapeared from the book! It only showed " 005" (the last word was 2005).
"Start word word word more words bla bla bla words words word bla bla bla hear are more words. (name & name 2005)" became " 005".
I jump a page back and forth, still was the same.
This was last night, today when I opened up the book (last night I continued reading another book, did not go back) it all looked fine. All words were there.
Interesting...
